Dear Visvanath,

Well, I guess part of me is still not 100% in on the whole Moodle thing. I agree that paid, professional hosting and management is ideal. But at this point we have such a small number of students I can't really justify the expense right now. As I said, there are lots of people involved in our org, especially in IT, so I though I would try to tap that resource.

Thanks everyone!

Thanks! I agree the ability to learn things is critical. But I'm looking for a baseline.

Would you say that they would need to know php to handle things like upgrading and backing up?

In addition to upgrading and backing up, I would say that another issue would be troubleshooting why users aren't able to log in.

Right. Good point. So they would need to be willing to learn using the Moodle software to some degree, I guess. Thanks.

Thank you! I edited my post to include that our installation is on a shared hosting plan (Dreamhost).

I guess once I had a potential volunteer I would ask them if they felt confident to follow the upgrade instructions https://docs.moodle.org/39/en/Upgrading .
